Zombie Organism Created In Laboratory

Source: Daily Mail Online
A friend shared an article on Facebook today entitled "Zombie Organism Created in Laboratory" (Zombease.com). Intrigued by the title, I simply had to go and read the article! After Googling "zombie cells" and finding several articles from websites I'm more familiar with, it seems authentic which makes this SUPER COOL!

While I enjoy science fiction and fantasy stories, I've never quite warmed to zombies. The closest I've come to liking zombie stories is reading about Anita Blake's work as an animator aka someone who raises zombies for a living. Anita Blake is a character created by the amazing Laurell K. Hamilton - Check the links on the right to visit her website and read more about Anita's world and her work.

Zombie cells... Using silicic acid to 'embalm' mammalian cells (Daily Mail)... Building structures at the nanometer scale (Huffington Post)... I understand the words themselves however the scientific concepts these words represent are mostly a mystery to me. Glad to know there are scientists out there who do know what all this means and who are constantly working on improving humanity's knowledge of our world.

Out walking last month I came across numerous bridges. To be expected, as I was walking in an area with lots of little streams and rivers, an area that attracts many who want to enjoy nature and 'the outdoors' without having to go very far. There's something about bridges that speaks to me, something that draws me to them. Standing on a bridge looking down, watching the world below go by, it can feel as if the world below is separate from the world above that I am in. Which bridge one stands on makes little difference - whether it is people and cars passing down below or ducks and boats, the feeling remains the same. A different world, so close yet also so far away... One world above the bridge and another separate world below it. When it comes to enjoying bridges as a lover of photography and an explorer of the world, I most enjoy photos that show not just the world above the bridge and the world below it, but also the separate world that connects the two. Today's ...

Blurry Birdwatching Photos

When you can't go outside, invite nature in, instead... ... And go birdwatching on your own balcony! My ankle still hurts, which makes going outside and enjoying nature a bit of a challenge... One that hurts. Especially seeing how lovely today was! So if I can't go out and enjoy nature, then nature can come visit me instead! Put a few pieces of bread out on the balcony hoping to attract a few of the birds that live and play around here. They visit occasionally, however tend to fly off again as soon as they see movement. Which meant that today I sat very still, hoping they'd stay long enough for me to take a few photos. Many of the images turned out blurry or unclear, either because the birds were too fast or I was too slow. A bit of both, if you ask me. The blurry photos look something like this...   There's something about those blurry images that makes me smile... Birds being birds, perhaps. I'll show some of the non-blurry images in the ...

Even though taking photos or posting Photo Challenges hasn't been on my priority list lately, there is something about a misty morning that is hard to resist. Knowing that the sun is shining behind the 'smokescreen' and waiting for that perfect moment when whatever you're taking photos of looks just right in the light... Here's one of the photos I took last Sunday. Isn't our world beautiful, stunning and amazing?!
